Taqueria La Unica

Queso, 3 types of salsa, pico, and a bowl limes arrived on the table as soon as we sat down. For FREE. Free queso? What! That almost got them an automatic five stars!!!
We orders a ground beef chimichanga and chicken fajitas. The chicken fajitas were delicious and it was a huge serving. We left with a to go box that basically had more food than I even ate.
The chimichanga was only okay, it was filled with rice and I don’t really like that, I would rather have just meat than rice filler.
The restaurant is connected to a Clarion hotel and the decorations and furniture just look like hotel lobby furniture– no big deal to me.
I’ll definitely be back for the free queso!

I would go here with my coworkers once a week for lunch because the food is great, quick service, and at great prices.
I usually have a small appetite for lunch so my go-​to-​order was the taco loco (one taco with rice, refried beans, beef or chicken, lettuce, cheese and topped off with guacamole) which was only around $ 4 and it filled me up! They also give out nachos in the beginning with a choice of sauces. The chimichanga is also delicious, and I usually always have leftovers when I order that.
This place is different from other Mexican restaurants in that they don’t overdue it on the spices, every ingredient is fresh and simple and when it’s all blended/​put together it’s a melody of awesomeness.

Once again it was really good. Had fajitas and bf had enchiladas. Very good. Salsas were awesome. Only draw back is servers need more training on the process or sequence of serving. They are very eager however their methods seem like they could be better. Just deal with the language barrier. It is a Mexican restaurant.

Occasionally find these jems in my travels, not a taqueria, a wonderful Mexican retaurante with the most flavorful sauces this side of Mexico.

Great fresh Mexican food, with a homey feel. This place is worth seeking out, as it’s tucked away in a motel.

THE ONLY reason they didn’t get 5 stars is because no one speaks english. Therefore if they charge you for an item you didn’t get – tough cookies, you’re paying for it!
But, I cannot tell a lie. BEST Mexican food I have had since moving from San Diego! And that speaks volumes.

Ok. So, I’ve been back about 5 times since my initial review.
The good: the flautas are very tasty! The tortilla chips maybe the largest I’ve ever seen and they give plenty.
The bad: they stopped giving the cheese dip gratis. They don’t have a license to sell beer on Sunday. They dropped all beer specials. They seem to have product inventory management issues, almost always out of something. The service is inconsistent, yet with the same staff?
Altogether, still very decent mex food for Fort Mill, with a few things to overlook but if it’s about the food and not a lot more, try the flautas

The food was great, the facility clean. The waiter was rude. Bad customer service ruined the whole trip. Won’t be back.

This place is a tad more expensive compared to your typical Mexican restaurant, but it is worth it. They do not shove you into a seat and out the door like most Mexican restaurants do. We had great service. They really took the time to make sure we had everything we needed. All of the staff members were extremely friendly. The food was AWESOME. They give you chips, salsa, and a green dip (cilantro salsa) when you first sit down which tasted great. I ordered the La Unica Burrito without the red sauce, with beef, and a side of rice and beans. It tasted great. Rice was probably the best rice I have had at a Mexican restaurant. My boyfriend ordered the pollo fundido. He always orders this at every Mexican restuarant. He said he was disappointed that the cheese on it was shredded/​melted instead of the cheese dip, so you may want to request the cheese dip instead. Overall a great experience. We sat at the bar and they let us put the game on we wanted to watch and gave us the remote to turn up the volume. I will go back for sure. We stayed at the Best Western and walked right over. Super awesome. We did both order margaritas. There was too much sweet and sour mix for my taste. I am just not a big fan of places that pre-​make their mix with the alcohol already in it. They were not super strong, but not super weak either. I think next time I will ask for an extra shot in it though. Try it out.

Awesome place! I never write reviews but this place is worth the effort. The salsa was amazing and I didn’t even eat the other three types that came with the meal. Great service! Inexpensive! Great staff! Clearance clean! Everything was fresh! You have to try this!

Delicioso! Their 3 salsas + a queso dip is a delightful start to a meal. Good chips, too! We had quesadillas, both of which were very tasty. Can’t wait to go back and try more. Décor looks like… well, the restaurant of a Clarion hotel, but the food rose above that.

They use deli chicken instead of real chicken. I could not stand processed chicken, even KFC has better quality chicken than this place. «Chicken» taste like rubber. The servers were not nice at all.
Food takes a while also, the tomato salsa is basically like marinara sauce.
The avocado salsa is good and spicy though but everything else about this place just not worth coming back.

Excellent little out of the way Mexican restaurant. It is inside the Clarion hotel but has outside access. Portions are large, salsa & queso are served for free. You can even mix your own salsa b/​c they bring you a small bowl of pico to mix in. The meal was excellent and the place was nice and clean.

Not good in my opinion. Sure, it is plentiful and cheap, but that is not really my first priority with food.
Went for lunch with a few friends and two of us ordered the barbacoa burrito. It was gross. Not only did it not taste anything like barbacoa, but just looking at the meat was gag inducing. It was gray and gelatinous. Not good at all.
Our waitress was very nice but also very incompetent. She brought out the chips and salsas, which are served in small carafes, but brought no bowls. She had trouble taking the order, she didn’t check on us, never informed us that the checks go to the desk and you pay there — she just wasn’t great.
Additionally, and everyone has their opinions, but I find the location to be pretty shifty. There are people in and near that hotel that don’t seem on the up and up! Park at your own risk!

This place is fantastic. I hope they stay in business because the portions are huge.

Took 2 friends with me for dinner here tonight (Sunday 4-​6-​2014). Everything was as good as it was when I was there last Tuesday. They finally got their credit card machine! Yay! No more having to carry cash!
Dinner was unexpectedly inexpensive tonight! All tacos were $ 1. The chicken tacos were juicy and well seasoned. Coupled with the free salsas, guacamole, and cheese dip, an unbeatable value! All 3 of us left full and happy for well under $ 20 plus tip.
